Absolutely. As I stated a bit in my testimony, Swine Innovation Porc and the research that's being done there is absolutely essential to us, and ensuring that we maintain the funding levels for that. That organization is currently funded on a 25:75 split between producers and government funding. It's absolutely essential that we maintain that level of funding going forward so we can continue the research.
Again I'll go back to our new agency, our check-off agency that we want to have developed. To be perfectly blunt, as a member of the hog industry, I'm disappointed at this point that it hasn't moved forward faster than it has. We have the public process done. This is nothing more than levelling the playing field between us and our American counterparts. I'm not asking anything more of them than what we do when we export pork their country. All stakeholders are in favour of this. This is essentially not a financial request from the government, this is a call for action. If I could leave this committee with one thing today, it would be to do whatever it can to move that process forward. If the government made this a priority and wanted to move forward with it, there's no reason that we could not have the rest of the process done, the public hearings done, and have this fully implemented and in place by the end of the year.
